Staff members

Meet the team!

Putting faces to the names of those who will supervise the sale and/or purchase of your largest asset makes it much more personal. This doesn’t just concern the property consultants, but all our other office staff and trainees as well.

Our team will be happy to speak to you and book an initial meeting. You can either come to one of our offices, or we can come to you.

Aubry de Graaf | Trainee property consultant

My name is Aubry de Graaf and I’ve been working at ERA vb&t Makelaars as a Trainee property consultant since 17 May 2018. After a career of more than 20 years in the insurance industry, I decided to follow my heart and make a switch to the real estate sector. This sector has always appealed to me. And what could be better than turning your passion into your job? I’m currently training to be a senior property consultant and expect to complete my studies at the end of the year. In the coming months, I will receive further on-the-job training as a property consultant at our office in Eindhoven. This is a great opportunity for me in an innovative office!!

Bregje Visser | Senior property consultant new construction

In 2017, as a recent graduate of the Real Estate and property Brokerage study programme, I ended up in the new constructions department of ERA vb&t Makelaars. After previous internships in property development, I can honestly say that this is the best and most comprehensive section in real estate. In office sales, I’m the first point of contact for newly constructed owner-occupied and rented houses in the south of the Netherlands. This diversity, combined with the interaction I have with the customers, means that I’m at your service with a smile.

Christel van Lierop | Team Leader/executive secretary

My name is Christel van Lierop. I live in Gemert and I’ve have been working in real estate for several years now. My job is to ensure that everything in the office runs smoothly! My duties consist of supporting management/property consultants, as well as supervising the office staff at our branches. Working at ERA vb&t Makelaars is extremely rewarding! Why choose our services? We’re a young and enthusiastic team and use the latest tools and media to ensure a quick sale of your property!!

Ellen de Bruijn | Office assistant

My name is Ellen de Bruijn. I’ve been working at ERA vb&t Makelaars in Helmond since 1 August 2018. Each day, I learn a little bit more about this hectic, yet highly attractive sector! Phone anxiety? Never heard of that! I’m the first enthusiastic voice you’ll hear at the Helmond office. Born and bred in Helmond, I really enjoy keeping informed of all residential developments in the area. Do you have a question? Come and visit our office at Steenweg or just give me a call!

Erik Reinders | Registered property consultant

I lost my heart to real estate immediately after completing my Real Estate and Brokerage studies in 2001 and I’ve been a registered property consultant and certified valuer since 2006. I started my new adventure in real estate at ERA vb&t Makelaars on 1 December 2017. An office with the perfect combination of professional services and a personal touch. I carry out my work for the Eindhoven and Helmond offices, and I like to involve you in my sales efforts in a professional and contemporary way.

Esther Niehot | Office assistant

I’ve been working at the Den Bosch office since 1 February 2017 and I’m committed to supporting my colleagues, clients and house hunters wherever I can. My duties include answering the telephone, scheduling viewings and drawing up sales contracts. The interaction with people is the best part of my work, so I hope to see you soon!

My name is Femke de Laat. After completing my studies at the school for higher education in economics and management (HEAO) in 2000, I started working in real estate and have been a certified valuer and registered property consultant since 2006. I’ve worked in Eindhoven throughout all that time, which has made this city a home away from home. I now know the place like the back of my hand. I’m mainly involved in the selling and letting of new construction projects in Eindhoven and surroundings. In my time, I’ve seen my fair share of new neighbourhoods and residential complexes arise whilst involved as a property consultant and I’ve been able to make many people happy with a new home!

Helga Verschuuren | Senior property consultant

My name is Helga Verschuuren and I would like to welcome you to ERA vb&t Makelaars in the Helmond region to supervise the sale of your property or to help you find your new home. I’ve been working in residential real estate since 2005 and believe that personal contact in this age of digitisation is extremely important. I’d love to work with you in order to achieve the best possible end result. I look forward to welcoming you soon.

Jamy Mijvis | trainee property consultant

My name is Jamy Mijvis, I’m 26 years old and I live in Etten-Leur. Since October 2018 I’m employed at ERA vb&t Makelaars as a trainee property consultant. The reason for my change of professionalism is that I wanted more of a challenge. I have been given the opportunity to start at our new office in Breda! My current goal, you may ask? Making people happy with their new home, and together with Ron van den Berk make office Breda the best of them all.

Jorieke Vogel | Property consultant

I always wanted to become an interior designer. When I went looking for the ideal house to do up a few years ago, I became fascinated by the real estate trade. For me, this was the moment to start training as a property consultant and make a career switch. Today, I feel completely at home and I can combine my passion for living and my experience in hospitality and service provision at ERA vb&t Makelaars. I also regularly interact with the vb&t New construction team for the letting and/or sale of various new development projects. Are you looking for a (newly-built) house in Den Bosch or surroundings? Chances are that we’ll soon meet!

Inge Lewandowski | Property consultant new construction

I’ve been so lucky that I’ve been able to turn my hobby into my job! As a new construction consultant, it’s my responsibility to provide buyers and/or tenants with the best possible support in their search for their newly-built home. Our new construction team is very much aware of the fact that the real estate business is changing. Digital systems take over some of the roles of a property consultant. Fortunately, however, we can still see the need for personal contact and we respond to this need. If you’re unsuccessful to find a home digitally, we’ll still be happy to see you at the office! Feel free to pop in. I look forward to meeting you!

Jean Michel van Meersbergen | Senior property consultant

I’m 42 years young, born and raised Eindhoven! One of my strengths is establishing the relationship and connection between wishes and people. I do this with great enthusiasm and with a fresh look at the Eindhoven housing market! Don’t hesitate to contact me to exchange some ideas. Looking forward to meeting you!

Karlijn Kraan | Property consultant

I’m proud to say that I’m a member of our specialist new construction team. We’ve been growing since October 2015, in terms of both listings and staff. Everyone within the team complements each other, enabling us to provide you as a buyer or tenant with the best possible support in this important step in your life. Are you looking for a newly-built home? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Laurie Willems | Junior property consultant

I live in Eindhoven and I work at the Eindhoven office as a junior property consultant. I’m currently still training for senior property consultant which I will be completing early next year. It’s the service-oriented character that attracts me in the real estate business and during my day-to-day work, I mainly focus on individual units.

Linda Martens | Junior property consultant (trainee)

Who am I? I’m an enthusiastic woman who has a great passion for real estate! As of 1 February 2018, I’m your first point of contact for our office in Helmond. It’s a great pleasure to support parties in the purchase and sale of property. If you have any questions, you can always call me.

Margot Bertels | New construction stand-in

I’m Margot, also known as the sweeper keeper! You’ll meet me in various departments because of my broad employability. I currently give a helping hand in the New Construction and Rental departments. Should you meet me through our communication lines, I’m guaranteed to make you smile and provide you with a fast service!

Patricia Goudswaard | Director / Registered property consultant

As I write these words, I realise once more how fast everything goes. I started as a property consultant from our office in Helmond. Today, 10 years later, I mainly work from our head office in Eindhoven and I’m responsible for our real estate offices in Brabant. The greatest challenge is keeping up with all changes within the real estate sector. With a clear vision for the future, our enthusiastic team aim is to lead the way in all future developments!

Peter de Kok | Registered property consultant

My name is Peter de Kok. I was born and raised Eindhoven and, therefore, I know Eindhoven like the back of my hand. After my studies at the school for higher education in economics and management (HEAO), I started working as a property consultant in 1992. A few years ago, after fulfilling a long-term management position at a large national real estate company, I made the choice to do what I really like: brokering and direct customer contact. Going the extra mile for my client and making sure that his property wish is fulfilled. I find that extremely rewarding.

Ron van den Berk | Senior property consultant

My name is Ron van den Berk and I work at ERA vb&t Makelaars as a senior property consultant. I started drawing houses and being creative with property when I was still in primary school. In 2005, I started studying Real Estate and Brokerage in Eindhoven, a university of applied sciences degree programme. After that, I worked as an account manager in the software industry for a number of years. I ultimately reconnected with my first love and I went looking for a job in real estate. Working in real estate, as a key player, a contact person, networker and negotiator is fantastic. I was born and bred in Eindhoven and it is a privilege to have a look behind the scenes, to see the undercurrents in the city and aim for the best result!

Rudy Welbergen | Registered property consultant

After graduating for my Real Estate and Brokerage university of applied sciences degree programme in 2004, I started working in real estate straight away. Coming from a family of property consultants, real estate has always played a major role in my life. I soon found that residential real estate was the perfect match for me. The daily interaction with people, fulfilling people’s property wishes, but also advising and guiding private and professional clients gets my juices flowing. I started working at vb&t groep/ ERA vb&t makelaars and continue to work there to this day with pleasure. I focus on the Den Bosch region. I’ve been working here and in the Boxtel region, which is where I was born and raised, since 2004.
